MOOKIE, THE THREE ARMED MOM-STER

My name is Jessica.

I was given the nickname Mookie by my husband, whom I affectionately call ‘Papa Bear’. I was born and raised in Dallas Texas. I'm an introvert at heart with a passion for writing. I love Jesus, fresh flowers, tequila, and HomeGoods!

Papa and I have been married for 13 years & have 3 beautiful children. 

JBoogey is our handsome, charismatic 14-year-old son. 

Jayceface is 7 years old and he has a smile that can lift the sadness from any situation. JournJourn is our 4-year-old daughter. she is the lip-smacking, hair-tossing diva my soul prayed for. 

Our marriage isn't perfect and neither are our parenting skills but we make it work and I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. I'm a simple girl with a complicated past but God has taken every mistake and used it for His glory. That was the idea behind Three Armed Mom-Ster, a platform to show God’s grace, mercy, favor, and forgiveness. All shown through the transparency of my daily life.

 Three Armed Mom-Ster was literally birthed from a dream.

While going through a season of frustration, I felt I was missing out on life. My career was on hold and before I could make any plans to move forward I was pregnant again. So, the question became “when will it be my turn, God?” November 2016, He answered that prayer in a dream.

In that dream, He told me His plans for me should not be a reflection of what I want but a reflection of what He wants for me. It’s funny. When we think of God speaking to us, we have this idea of how He speaks, how He reveals Himself. His presence that night was nothing I’ve ever imagined. I remember every detail in what he revealed, I remember the colors and the warmth of His presence. Even then, it took a year of Him tugging before my obedience turned into action. I was anchored in the fear of accepting a call on my life that seemed odd and off-target. It was through the building of my faith that allowed me to answer His call with willingness and obedience. 

Through it all, I’ve learned that seasons of frustration can give birth to blessings but we have to have faith and know that when we ask God a question, the box we place Him in may not be big enough for the answer.

I've taken my testimony and shared it throughout this platform. It’s a testimony that shows God is never done and while salvation is instant, the process towards sanctification can take a lifetime and that's ok.
